# Mollywood Times film shows danger of creative ego, says Madras HC judge 2026-08-26T22:11:04+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Madras High Court judge Justice S Srimathy has written an article on livelaw.in analysing the film Mollywood Times, directed by Abhinav Sunder Nayak and starring Naslen. The judge said the movie serves as a lesson for young creators on teamwork and the danger of an oversized ego. The film follows Vineeth Madhavan, a young filmmaker who demands total control over his horror movie and destroys it rather than compromise. The judge argued that throwing away hard work to prove a point leaves one with nothing while the world moves on. Real strength, she wrote, comes from respecting the team required to bring a dream to life. The article is a personal opinion piece by the judge. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Judges writing film reviews or cultural commentary is rare in India but not unprecedented. In 2022 a Bombay High Court judge reviewed a Marathi film in an order, and several Supreme Court judges have written on art and society. The article is purely the judge's personal view and carries no judicial weight. The core message about creative collaboration versus ego is a universal management lesson that applies to any team-based industry, from startups to software. Readers should treat it as a reflective essay rather than a legal opinion. ## Coverage - livelaw.in Article is a personal opinion piece by a judge, not news reporting, no slant on government or politics This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
